The only reason people get their knickers in a bind when this statement is made is because they have a need to make sure we don't exalt Jesus "too much". Thus we see "oneness" people so-called wanting us to tone it down and "focus more on the humanity" aspect.
And ANY theology which results in "keeping Jesus in his place" is suspect imo.
Yes the Father is greater than the Son and the Son came from thr Father. But JESUS IS THE FATHER. AND THE SON. AND THE HOLY GHOST.
All this effort to "update" our theology will lead to a destination most here can't see and would probably reject if the could see it.

Yea there is NO SCRIPTURE in the Bible where ANYONE knew God the Father when it was not Jesus Christ!
